Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current virtual and augmented reality technologies do not effectively provide users with insights into predicted future circumstances or states of objects and users, limiting their ability to comprehend potential future scenarios based on their attributes and events.
Innovation Solution
Systems incorporating wearable computing devices with image-capturing capabilities, Optical Head-Mounted Displays (OHMDs), and databases that utilize predicted future state modules to identify objects, retrieve user attributes, and generate augmented or virtual reality experiences showing predicted future states, allowing users to visualize future scenarios of objects or their own states based on these attributes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If virtual and augmented reality technologies are used to present artificial environments and augment real-world views, then user immersion and interaction are improved, but the ability to provide insights into predicted future circumstances is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs prediction computations in advance to determine future states of objects and users, then presents these predicted states through virtual and augmented reality experiences. This preliminary action allows the system to provide future circumstance information that would otherwise be unavailable, resolving the contradiction between maintaining current VR/AR capabilities and adding future state prediction functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates virtual copies of future states by generating predicted future states of objects and users based on current attributes and events. These copies are then presented through OHMDs to provide users with insights into potential future circumstances, thereby compensating for the loss of future information while maintaining the immersive nature of VR/AR experiences.
2Measurement precision
If systems capture images, identify objects, and predict future states using user attributes, then future state visualization is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The predicted future state module performs multiple functions including capturing images, identifying objects, retrieving user attributes, predicting future states, and generating virtual or augmented reality experiences. By consolidating these diverse functions into a single multi-functional module, the system achieves high measurement precision for future state prediction while minimizing the increase in overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges the image-capturing device, object identification algorithms, user attribute database, prediction engine, and VR/AR display components into an integrated wearable computing system. This merging allows the complex functions to work together seamlessly, achieving accurate future state prediction without requiring separate complex systems for each function.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems provide for a virtual reality experience of a predicted future state based on the occurrence or contemplation of an event. Other systems herein described provide for an augmented reality experience that replaces an object within view with an augmented display of the object based on the predicted future state of the object.
